    Top 5 chicken shawarma ive ever had!!! Good portion and good food. You can go up to the cashier to order if paying with cash or you can order from the kiosk if paying with a card. The workers there were really kind.

    The smells that come out this building!! Wow! I love to eat off their hot bar as I don't make it here often. I've ordered here many times and you can't go wrong. Their spinach paneer is one of my favorites in the city! Their service is quick and they have a well oiled system! They ask offer family sized meals to go which is great for a quick pick up dinner option that can feed everyone. I often like to grab them for holidays.

    Meat Shawarma Meal ($15.99)
    Jennifer H.

    Came here for lunch on a Monday. We ordered using the kiosk. I got the meat shawarma meal with the house salad and spinach & paneer ($15.99). My bf got the lamb kabab sandwich ($15.99). The wait was super long for this cafeteria-style spot (it took about 30 minutes for our food to be ready). I was really impressed with the meat shawarma meal! The portion size was huge! It came with a generous amount of meat, salad, and also pita bread! The sauce was yummy. My meal would be 5/5 stars. I tried my bf's lamb kabab, and it was just all right. The lamb had a weird texture. Overall, great portion sizes for the price and solid meal! The wait was too long though.

    We are visiting Pittsburgh and we happen to go to this hidden gym in the downtown this place have a grocery store connected to the restaurant. This is a typical Indian Pakistani Afghani Middle Eastern kind of place which caters multiple different cuisines with the touch of fusion their meal options are outstanding they have small, medium and large With one two and three main course and a rise on the side. The qualities are super huge, so be careful in what you're getting must rise. Are there chicken kebabs that juicy tender with a good kick their lamb chops were outstanding please do try them. They have a small sweet bar Where they have options from multiple countries and they make everything in house. The team is really really nice very helpful and they were all trying to make sure we're doing good.

    This place is just incredible! Great prices, great food, fast, and friendly. I had a medium combo with chicken tikka masala (among the best I've had), saag paneer, and chicken biryani. Love that you can get a Greek salad instead of rice as well! Will absolutely be back, this place is clearly an institution for good reason.

    I've always heard about how great the food is here. I can attest that the rumors are true. Had a great time with friends here right after lunch time and we were able to watch the Steelers game too on the tv. Win win! Customer service was great. We order at the counter and got our food with about a ten minute wait. Definitely check them out

    Beef Shawarma
    Justin A.

    Salem's is always a hit! One of our favorite spots to get takeout for when we want Halal food. Food: We both got the traditional shawarma and it was so tasty! The meat was so sweet and plentiful in the wrap. We also got fries and the portion was insane for the value! Service: The workers were attentive and our food was ready when we arrived. The place was bustling so I'm surprised it was ready so fast. Ambiance: While for this order I got takeout, Salems is always a great spot to eat at. Plenty of seats, it's always clean, and the smells of food are great!

    I've eaten here several times and have always been pleased with the food. I've tried the shawarma and gyro, and both have been great. The portions are huge, I usually wind up taking half home for the next day. The French fries are also very good. Ordering is cool because it's via touch screen, like Sheetz. Sometimes it does take a while for your food to be ready as it seems they are very busy all the time, but a big thumbs up. Also I do prefer the beef shawarma over anything else on the menu, but the gyro is very good as well.

    I stopped by around 5:30pm yesterday with a group of 6 people. There's tons of open seating available. It's definitely a place you for food versus vibes. You order and pay at one of their kiosks and they call your number once your food is ready. I got the lamb shawarma and it was a ton of food and inexpensive. It was also delicious! I tried some of a friend's fried and they were breaded and amazing. Salem's has tasty inexpensive food and I heard their catering is very reasonably priced, too.

    I have been going here for about 5 years now. Not once have I ever had a bad experience. The quality to quality to price ratio is the best you'll ever experience For $17 you can get over a lb of meat, 4-5 cups of rice and a side (I've weighed it out multiple times). My friend from Dubai I sent here and she said it's better than any spot she had over there Not a singular meat I wouldn't recommend. ALBEIT I will say that the grilled chicken is a fan favorite. Don't be fooled by the name either, it's not your ordinary grilled chicken. It's fall apart, seasoned to perfection, melt in your mouth chicken

    This is the second time I've tried salem's and you know exactly what you are getting. The portions are pretty big for the price. The food is always amazing. I recommend ordering ahead since it can take some time depending on what you are getting but overall service is pretty quick. I also love that their market has expanded and is now providing a market to an area that needs it, so they always get my support.

    I have been to Salem's many many times and I impressed every time. Given that this place is a little further down on Penn and just outside of the Strip, it feels like a little bit of a hidden gem. I don't know if I have ever gotten the same meal twice...but everything I have tried has been delicious. The portions are huge, the food is always flavorful and hot, and there is a huge selection of foods to choose from. Everything is in a prepared foods cabinet and therefore, the service is also very fast. There is ample seating for large or small groups and it has always been very clean. Be aware that they have prayer times they are closed for. I don't remember when those are, but I believe their website lists those times. We have also taken out of town guests here and everyone we have taken here have loved it as well! Definitely give it a try!

    Cheese naan

    Salem's Grill is elite. Service is quick and friendly, there's ample seating and parking nearby, and the food just smells and tastes delicious! Original Shawarma 5/5 Juicy, seasoned, and packed with meat. The cross sections of the photos I took don't do the amount of meat justice. But I just couldn't put it down mid meal to be bothered by taking another photo. Fries 5/5 Crispy, fluffy, and at an excellent value! I ordered the small fries for $3, and it was literally a whole plate of fries that came out, I ain't complaining. Meat samosas 5/5 These samosas are jam packed with excellently seasoned meat and I'm all for it! An order comes with 2, so great to share or hog to yourself :) Cheese naan 4.5/5 The naan here is made sooooooooo fresh and it's the size of your face if not bigger. My only wish is that there were more cheese

From the outside it was non-desript, but the inside revealed a sizeable taproom/restaurant setup with a decent sized bar to go along with it all. Though we did not eat here, we could see they had a nice sized menu and it was made to order. For beers we had each a lager and a dunkel, very good offerings that came in nice cone-shaped glassware - definitely out of the ordinary. Service was spot on and super friendly as we shared our experiences on the day and they genuinely were receptive to the whole discussion. Though it was a little hard to find, it was worth the effort and definitely worth a return trip...

It started in trying to go to the south side location but it was just a window, and I really wanted to experience the full outing so we doubled back to the strip and Larryville. Anyway - we sat down and were helped immediately by a very animated waitress with red hair? Place is very industrial - large signage and some tv's - kind of like a Buffalo Wild Wings. I ordered the double stack make your own with beef, regular bun, cheddar, bacon and burgher sauce. As my side I swapped for mac and cheese. The food came out fairly quick. The burger was VERY GOOD. Seasoned nicely, stacked high, and really just a solid burger. I added an extra side of the burgher sauce as well to dunk the burger in which was really good too. The macaroni was good - just wasn't hot. The cheese sauce was nice and flavorful, not bland at all Overall - I would come back here. And I would recommend.

I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.

    November 2025: lightly edited realtime notes:…read more - This is like a pop-up restaurant that is inside of a bar. - Buffalo wings, Nashville hot wings. The wings are cooked perfectly. The sauce is weak. The fact that the wings are crispy and fried and 100% dead-on makes up for the weak sauce. All things considered, 4.2. Could be 4.6 to 4.8 with decent sauce. In retrospect, having tasted the sauce as a side (below) I think they tossed the wings in the sauce when they were too hot, kind of denatured things, and got too much oil in it. The sauce is actually very good, and these wings could have been a notch or two better if they had let them cool for just a hot second before tossing them. These wings have the potential to be some of the very best in the city. - Onion rings here are just absolutely perfect. Think of the best a Burger King onion ring could be, and these are four notches up from that. - The french fries are OK. - The side of buffalo sauce that they brought us from the kitchen is so much better than how the wings came out; I am presuming that the wings were tossed in the sauce too hot, and not enough. These guys actually have a great buffalo sauce. - I got the Smashburger. Cheese, lettuce, pickles and their special sauce. No substitutions permitted. This burger is excellent and exactly what I wanted. 10 of 10, would totally order again. - One of our group got the signature applewood burger."It's delicious!" - Another got the farmhouse burger and seems to be completely tickled with it. "It's really good. How can you go wrong with bacon and egg on a burger?" Unfortunately, restaurant was out of the cheese sauce tonight. We observed that the cheese sauce would've made it "fire." - J got the Cajun burger. "Awesome. Very good!" He wishes he would've asked them to add bacon to it.
